" It&amp;#039;s been a long anticipated wait since Harper Lee&amp;#039;s groundbreaking novel To Kill A Mocking Bird first hit our bookshelves \u2013 a long 55-year wait in fact. Set in the deep South, Harper Lee&amp;#039;s poetic, uplifting novel tells the heartbreaking story of Tom Robinson \u2013 a black man falsely accused of rape \u2013 and the strong bond that develops between Tom&amp;#039;s lawyer Atticus Finch and the rest of his family. A tale of rape and racial prejudice, this profound story is narrated through the eyes of Atticus&amp;#039; six-year-old daughter Jean Louis Finch &amp;#039;Scout&amp;#039;.  And now, after 55 long awaited years, we see Jean Louis Finch \u2013 the adored heroine in Lee&amp;#039;s first breathtaking novel \u2013 return in her second narrative Go Set A Watchman. Now grown up, this tale follows Scout as she travels from New York to Alabama, to visit her sick father.  She embarks on a journey of nostalgia, experiencing flashbacks to events in her childhood, as she fully grasps the innocence of her once vulnerable childhood mind. She remains a feisty character, refusing to conform to the status quo, revealing love affairs and turned down marriage proposals. But there is also a tragedy uncovered that gives the Finch family story a whole new dimension.   The beginnings of this novel were actually drafted in the mid-fifties, but laid aside when changes were made by Lee&amp;#039;s editor \u2013 so there is rising speculation whether Go Set A Watchman was an early version of To Kill A Mocking Bird, questioning why she has waited decades to release this long-awaited sequel.  Whatever her reasons for delaying publication, Go Set A Watchman has already topped the pre-sale charts on Amazon, and HarperCollins has confirmed it&amp;#039;s their best-selling pre-order title ever.  Will it be as intoxicating as her dazzling debut? We can&amp;#039;t wait to find out.  Go Set A Watchman will be released on Tuesday 14 July. It&amp;#039;s available to pre-order now on Amazon  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
